[Q] why is wifi so horrible on AOSP ROM's? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried about many ROM's such as miui, CM7, decks, etc.... I've had no luck, the wifi is just so horrible in many places where in a sense ROM I'd have perfect wifi or good, compared to poor wifi disconnecting after a while.
Thanks for reading Anyone have a solution?

I use CM7 and have absolutely no problem with my wifi. Have you tried CM7? If so, have you tried anything else?

Yeah I've tried it just bit ago and the past days as well but I'm sure it isn't a hardware issue because on nrg 3.5 rom from Nov18 my wifi works perfect where I would I couldn't get wifi signal at all on cm.

The problem is that sense doesn't show the right signal. Compare the speeds and you'll see what I mean

It has nothing to do with speed, please read what I said... I lose signal on aosp ROM's on common areas that I get nearly excellent coverage in, note I tested this with airplane mode on to ensure my wifi doesn't disconnect and switch to 3G. A couple of other others on the miui thread have also said that same.

I'm using the new aosp ROM ice cream sandwich for my phone and wifi works like a charm. Using it now

I'm guessing it has a new kernel? I will flash it tomorrow to see how it works, just to clarify, you are talking about the alpha build right?

I don't think you understand what I said. Sense shows the wrong wifi signal. It shows 3 bars for me while aosp shows 1. Aosp shows true signal because I am far from the router
Having trouble with AOSP? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702

Are you using the included kernel or flashing custom ones? While your signal may show lower, you shouldn't notice a drop in actual connectivity. Flashing an incompatible kernel, like a Sense kernel, can mess up your wifi.
I'm on MIUI right now showing a full wifi signal. I haven't used Sense in a very long time, but I don't remember getting better wifi reception while I was using it. I'm using Tiamat right now, maybe try a different kernel next time you flash AOSP and see if that helps. There are also a few tweaks you can do to help with your wifi signal, like changing the wifi scan interval in build.prop, but I haven't actually done anything like that since my signal is fine.

I've been sticking to the stock kernel that the ROM's have and savaged. I'll give the tiamat kernel a try with miui, what Tiamat version are you using so I can try it if not maybe I'll try getting a phone replacement to see if I might have a fault or evil mojo evo that hates aosp lol! hardware 004 here.

I've heard that 004s can be problematic, I have a 003 and only get issues when I go a while without wiping fully. I'm using 4.1.0 right now, start there and maybe try other versions if you want. I ran SZ for a while and it started off smooth but eventually got laggy and unresponsive at times despite anything I would do (wiping caches, etc). Switched back to Tiamat and all has been working well since.
Give it a go, if it doesn't work for you then maybe it's some kind of hardware issue. Just to be sure, do a full wipe and try to avoid restoring anything unless you absolutely have to - definitely don't restore system data. Unfortunately you can't take your phone in to Sprint and get a replacement since your wifi is dodgy on AOSP. If it happened on stock then you might have a case.

I've been using the tiamat for now and it seems more stable on wifi, funny though, the wifi seemed bad on the default miui kernel. I also moved my router to a higher place on a shevel with nothing steel or bad around it. Oh and don't worry my local sprint store in Los angeles is a big time Hispanic corporate... they replace devices for any complaining here to avoid issues with the people lol! I got to love it.

Q: Anyone else having really weak wifi signal/dropping issues??

I just tried connecting to my Wifi at work...and I have really low signal...meanwhile, my Nook Color has full bars...anyone else having this problem? Was running CM7RC4 updated to CM7 Final...still same thing...
Yeah, I've noticed the same thing while running CM7. I was on stock Sense before and was getting really strong Wi-Fi signals. Then after going through CM7 nightlies, RC's, and now I'm on CM7 Final I am still getting quite weak signal strength.
Now the trade off is that I get much better battery life from CM7 than from Sense. So I'm okay with it...
Really? No one else?
I've been *****ing about this and no one responds to me like I'm crazy. Cm7 has weak wifi as compared to sense. It seems to even get weaker when I'm holding it with my left hand. When I hold with my right hand it boost right back up. This has been a problem since cm6 but like I said people think I'm *****ing; I know they're aware of this but I guess they can't explain why sense has better wifi reception/performance.
~ d3rk
Yeah...I get the same thing man...but it's weird...my Nook Color running CM7 doesn't do it...
I switch back and forth from MIUI to MikFroyo pretty often. Although WiFi and 3G show stronger signals in Sense, the actual performance/reception is the same. I think AOSP signal strength indicators are more true to life...and Sense pads the numbers. Download Real Signal and test it...dBs are the same no matter what ROM you're on.
My Wifi Drops
I've noticed a similar issue, the AOSP ROMs do have a sightly different number of "bars" for 2g/3g/voice, and I can still make and receive calls when it says I have service.
But my wifi (as many others) does seem to suffer, I actually lose connection some places in my house, where previously running a Sense ROM I did not. Happens at work as well. I did read in another thread other people confirming that the wifi drivers in AOSP are not as good as the sense ones, in addition the GPS drivers seem to have issues as well. No one seems to know why yet, just that it happens. I haven't confirmed dBm levels between the two, but I will probably do that tonight.

Random service drops? AOKP

Been running AOKP for quite some time now but I've been getting random blackouts lately where my phone will show zero bars of service with an X through it and it will come back within 30 seconds but it has been known to drop calls and it generally just ****s everything up. Happens a few times daily. Anyone else?
I've been running AOKP build 36 and Franco Kernel r166. I have experienced a couple data drops. It rarely ever happens for me.
What build and kernel are you running?

Maybe try wiping cache/dalvik?
i heard it's an issue with most if not all 4.0.4 builds out right now. some people suggest trying different kernels, others just say to do a clean install, etc. The only time it really happens to me is when connect to wifi, then disconnect. it doesn't go connect my data unless i reboot. can still get calls/texts though. this was on milestone5. I just upgraded to b38 and it may have cleared up, but i'll keep running tests.

Hmmm, I always wipe everything good when I install new builds. I also usually use Franco kernel, sometimes the AOKP kernel when I'm lazy or forget to install Franco.
This is a known issue with AOKP and also Franco's kernel.
Good to know thanks.
More like it is a known issue with AOSP in general from reading around as CM has it as well.

I was having the SAME EXACT issues, I fixed it 100% buy doing a full wipe (user + system data, plus dalvik) through recovery, and re-installing the most current CM9 Nightly (6/3/2012 for me) and now my phone hasn't dropped the signal ONCE in the 8+ hours I have been using it heavily.
I'm thinking the full wipe was all it needs and the ROM doesn't really matter, but I read somewhere (probably here) that if you underclock your CPU to anything below 400 Mhz then it will have issues connecting to the towers, I don't know how accurate that is, but I can confidently say that I have my Nexus back!
I'm using the most recent radios included in CM9 Toro 6/3/2012 which are the newest ones that Verizon pushed out with their 4.0.4 update.
My battery life is horrible now but I could care less at this point (4 months with a shoddy signal).

Well there ya go, Franco stock settings have a low end of 384Mhz I believe.
I was on AOKP b37 with the 4.0.4 radios on my old phone and had the same problems, but they happened from day 1 on stock software and were what caused me to root. If you always had the problem before rooting, then it is more than likely the phone. Full wipes didn't work, new radios didn't work, only getting a new phone worked.

No, return it to stock and have Verizon send you a new one.
Running AOKP B38 + Franco M3, and NEVER had this issue. Always clean install, and even in AOKP M5, up to every build leading to 38, never had data connection issues.

I was having the same issue with data drops happening on a regular basis even in strong LTE areas to the gray X. I tried flashing every radio out there and several roms and never fixed it. finally got VZ to send me a replacement and the new one works flawlessly, zero drops.
I'd just get it replaced.
I've been able to fix this problem by running the UGLC1 kernel. Also make sure your RIL matches your radio: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5zaWJib3IuZ2V0cmlsIl0.
After flashing UGLC1 and making sure my RIL matches I haven't dropped signal once.

[Q] AOSP Known Issues?

I'm just trying to keep these straight, since I've seen bits and pieces of various problems on the various dev threads. Would someone be so kind as to check my logic here? Thanks in advance!
Problem: Can't get a GPS lock after flashing any AOSP-based 4.3 rom
Solution: Flash back to stock (RUU?), open up Maps or otherwise get a good GPS lock, flash back to your rom of choice
Burning Question: Why does this happen and why does stock flashing work?
(Idiot Newbie Question: RUU is basically a stock image? I need an encrypted version? Do I need to worry about breaking my rumrunner s-off/root?)
Problem: When on a phone call, and the other party hangs up, you get "call lost" instead of the standard graceful disconnect.
Solution: Isn't one yet. Gotta wait for a fix to be made.
Problem: Signal strength meter shows impossibly low values, despite data, voice, LTE all working as expected.
Solution: No idea. Of the 3 roms I've tried, (CM10, Liquid, Carbon), all do this. Minor problem, but anyways.
Problem: Purplish tint on the camera in dark scenes.
Solution: Phone's defective, send it in. / Or: Wait for a software patch.
Which is it?
@Karunamon
Problem 1. Not really figured out yet. All you need to do is flash any Sense rom.
Problem 2. Is fixed! For a couple of days now for any ROM built after 11th of this month.
Problem 3. I get the same dBm on Sense and AOSP. Sure a lot of other people do also. But people panic when looking at the network bars.
Problem 4. I get no purple/pink tint when on Sense but after flashing AOSP I get the purple/pink tint on my FFC. So I would wait til 4.3.
Is the issue with AOSP roms killing the radios on certain phones fixed as of the 11th?

That isn't AOSP fault. Something was happening after the s-off procedures that people need to do a factory reset from HBOOT before flashing anything to reset their radio

I s-off'd, unlocked my bootloader and rooted with no issues. I was stock rooted and everything functioned. As soon as I flashed an AOSP rom, the radio broke. I had data, but no voice. (You posted in a thread I started and helped me fix my radio)
I'm not trying to argue or anything, just trying to understand.
Are you saying that I should now be able to flash an AOSP rom and have no radio issues now since I reflashed the stock recovery to fix the radio, then flashed back to TWRP?

I really think you can go back to an AOSP rom. I have no problems and tons of other people with no problems. I noticed that the guys who s-off with sonic didn't have these issues. That is just why I think it is something with the whole current s-off process.
But if you do decide to give AOSP another try. I would flash when you have about a hour of free time with a computer just to make sure it doesn't crap out again.

Excellent, seems I just need to dig up a sense rom and then reflash something new and i'll be good on 1 and 2.
Any idea what could be causing 3, though? For comparison, when I was on stock, the meter was completely full for LTE in my home. Now, it's one bar. Coverage is still good though and data still works at breakneck speeds, so I don't think it's an actual signal issue.

check DBM isntead of looking at your bars to see if you even have an issue.
The signal issue sounds the same as AOSP on the Rezound. The signal strength would be same, but the signal icon would be different. Basically, HTC has set the icons to show more than AOSP.
I didn't factory reset after using rumrunner and the only thing I have noticed was I would not connect to 4g as much or as fast as before. It seems to be getting better though. I am running bonestock.

Like it was explained to me the bars are kinda like the idiot lights on a cars dash. They really don't do much. Aosp shows your true signal and sense and so on shows a false truth just so people doesn't complain about poor signal. As long as my data works I don't care if I have zero bars.

Why does every KK rom have data issues?

I've tried Liquidsmooth, CM Remix, Omni, and now Carbon. Every KK rom shows me the orange no data connection icon. Airplane mode toggle and wifi toggle doesn't work. Reboots only work sometimes. And that's not really a solution, rebooting my phone every 5 minutes. Why is this happening?
I only home that you switched all these ROMs with clean installs. Did you?
Of course
yea same here got a gnex on eBay having trouble getting it going ..looks like I'm going to an old ROM that my other gnex runs and at least has data connection

yeah.. maybe your baseband version (radio.img) didnt suited you.
maybe broken driver ~ reflash kernel with wifi driver works for me. ( changing rom didnt change anything to radio/driver setting)
My old 4.2.2 JBSourcery gets signal just fine. And for some reason Omni gets better than the others but still cuts out.

sometimes when u using adblocker apps or network tweaks/mod its can easily mess your network setup. just double check if any.

rom can affects data coverage from the Rils files (in libs). usually continuously using 4.3 rils right now cause google doesn't update for gnex. gnex roms still on progress in this. CM & slim update the coverage issues so far. dont know wt others. sorry if im wrong..

I dont know what carrier you are on but when I was using my Verizon Galaxy Nexus, every ROM I flashed usually had no data on first boot. I got in the habit of rebooting the phone before I even went through the setup and after that, data had no issues. It was a known thing. Toggling airplane mode and 3g/LTE was also known to cause issues at one point. So if you clean flash, boot up and let it sit for a few seconds before going through the google setup. If data doesnt automatically connect, reboot right away. It should connect fine after that.
Yeah I'm on Verizon now. Hopefully making the switch to T-mo in about a month. The problem is not that data doesn't connect at all, the problem is that it will drop out and never come back. I live in Boston and in the subway I will lose the signal underground and it will never come back. Also my office is right in the main downtown area and I barely get a 3G signal no matter what. I know my signal strength isn't part of this problem. It's the data connection somehow becoming disconnected and staying idle that is stopping me from staying on KK.

Yeah I'm on Verizon now. Hopefully making the switch to T-mo in about a month. The problem is not that data doesn't connect at all, the problem is that it will drop out and never come back. I live in Boston and in the subway I will lose the signal underground and it will never come back. Also my office is right in the main downtown area and I barely get a 3G signal no matter what.

Since you're on Verizon check shiny Rom. The guys there have done a lot of tweaking to improve data.
The reason data is problematic is partially since the gnex is no longer supported and the toro variant has had no officially android release since 4.2.2 and the ril and telephony stack have changed how they work with cdma in both 4.3 and 4.4. I believe the toro uses a bit of an older radio. Is this a problem when you disable 4g as well?

I've gotta say that Shiny ROM is just about flawless. I've never had issues getting or keeping a data connection when there's signal. I'm using the FK01/FK02 radios from 4.2.2 and the 4.2 bootloader.
I'll give my little testimony here: a basic stock rom will get you farther than a fully-featured one. I've heard the expression "mo' features, mo' bugs" and that seems to fit quite well. I'm not aware of any features in any rom that you can't get from one xposed module or another, so that's what I've been doing. I'd say give it a try and see if your data issues are resolved for good.
Shiny has always worked fine for me. I run latest everything.. bootloader, radio. CM I think worked fine for me but was ugly. Paranoid Android seems to have some connectivity issues.. I wish someone could solve this data issues. Maybe it is time to leave my nexus behind Just been waiting for another verizon nexus

I've tried Liquidsmooth, CM Remix, Omni, and now Carbon. Every KK rom shows me the orange no data connection icon. Airplane mode toggle and wifi toggle doesn't work. Reboots only work sometimes. And that's not really a solution, rebooting my phone every 5 minutes. Why is this happening?

I've got about 7 different Nandroids and have been switching between them to test. CM Remix which I believe is based on Slim seems to be working OK. I tried Slim this morning but still got a lot of data cut-outs

wow.. lot of roms tested. that pretty brilliant idea for solving this. just use the best. data networks really different for each country.
* i found out a different in apn setting wt different rom. slim rom only captured 4g by my local provider (APN). when im tried asob its give choice in Apn setting ( 3g /4g). my country not fully h+ at several area. so changing to 3g got better network (better low than nothing)

I don't think that applies to CDMA

Issue with Madhi-ROM 4.4.2 and data

Hello,
I have flashed Madhi-ROM 4.4.2 yesterday night and it had LTE working properly. Today, I ran into an issue where it would no longer connect to data at all. I have reflashed the stock rom and updated profile and prl then reflashed Madhi-rom 4.4.2 and at the screen "Activate mobile data service", it just keeps running and occasionally make a call to activate mobile data which ends up failing. I don't know if this is a common issue, but I'd like my mobile data to work. Other than this issue, I think its a very nice rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

oh okay
Seems like some people have been having 4G connection issues not only with Mahdi but other Roms as well.
Here are some of the suggestions:
Toggle Airplane mode for 10 seconds then turn off
Dirty flash ROM again
Return to stock and update PRL then reflash custom ROM
Keep data connection at 3G and live with it
You can also try flashing and comparing the Gee version vs. the ls970 version
It's hit or miss with this phone. No rhyme or reason for no consistency for such a basic requirement
I'm sure more experienced members will offer more suggestions
Hope this helps
Yeah, LTE is extremely sketchy on AOSP ROMs, Gee or LS970. Since the connection is just so inconsistent, I've found that the best thing to do is, as listed above, toggle airplane mode on/off, reflashing, or just sticking with 3G. 4G works flawlessly on stock LG ROMs though.

Thank you guys for the help. I tried all the fixes above with no luck. I have reverted back to the stock rom since I rather have my mobile data working than run an AOSP rom.

I believe I've struck gold with the latest Dirty Unicorn ROM!
Everything works: 4G, GPS, yes and even google calendar.
At first, I could only get 3G then one of options was just to simply display 4G instead of LTE in status bar then viola, 4G!
Probably just coincidence but I am one happy dude!
Might want to give DU a try

I may give it a try sometime later. My phone works perfectly with the stock rom at the moment.

Have you tried SuperNexus? Honestly heard nothing but good things about this rom as long as the installation instructions are followed exactly. LTE, GPS, Bluetooth, and battery life are all working from what i've heard, you might wanna give it a try.
